    1. is sick. the light trails are just brilliant. there are so many different colors here... its amazing. and i like how you can see people who were sitting there but left mid exposure.


    Did you get that new tripod?
    I don't want it, I just need it...to breath ...to feel ...to know I'm alive.

    Re: providence shootout.

    All great shots. #1 is awesome, the shutter speed was perfect and the patterns/lines rock. Good compostion

    #2 and #4
    Great subject. I've always been a fan of light trails, and with fire, it's even better...I like fire.

    Good, but the moon bothers me, perhaps conceal it with the building, or make 2 exposures, one for the moon, one for the rest, and stack the two. (assuming that is the moon)

    Thanks, I'll have to try a double exposure tonight.

    Nah, I'm waiting to go back home for the Bogen, I just got a decent quantaray tripod. It's nice.

    Thanks. To tell you the truth, I wasn't sure if any of them were even decent, but I guess they turned out well.

    Re: providence shootout.

    all very nicely taken shots IMO. The last one is the one that speaks the loudest to me and my favourite out of the bunch. I think it's a great shot that demands and holds my attention very well.

    Thanks, I thought it was a bit disappointing. I thought it was going to have fireworks and whatnot. Nice fisheye shot. The weather was perfect for shooting.

    Re: providence shootout.

    Congrats on the sticky. They're exciting . # 3 is my favorite. I wish it was wider (taller) still, but very interesting in that it shows the tradition and power of the architecture. # 1 is nice (and sharp), but I think I would have preferred that the camera tilt upward more, to show more of the building and less of the blank space (but I bet it was hard to tell if it would be blank). The twirler shots are fun, but I wish there was better supporting areas of light on the sides.
